Bharatanatyam

[chicspears2199]

awesome

[priyankahottyful]

i am amazed at the fine quality dancing of indian ppl

[ekglassyduh]

For people who dont understand...She is depicting both Lord Shiva and Parvati in the video her right movements are feminine Parvati and left is Masculine Shiva in a form of Ardhanareeswara.

It invokes that there is masculnity in the female and feminity in the male. The male part is Shiva and Female part is Parvati. One is Supreme God and the other Supreme Goddess. Both are interdependent and interrelated. They complete the vaccum in the other.

[Annonymus]

Anyonnee...pls help... why the lyrics differ for the same songs?

for eg. here by, cs. 5 mins, its not "pancha baaNa" but 5 pieces or sg else than arrow :( :-/

[poonamstoryteller]

why would anyone wish this heritage to disappear?

[arun8ku]

beauty at its best !!... i wish i could have seen the whole vedio - ( there seems to be some editing done... )

[pooppeeyou]

not bad..

[haffgaff]

I love this style of costume. They're especially hypnotizing in large performances, where the illusion is almost one of giant beautiful birds flashing their bold colorings. Just divine :D

[bharatanatyam2]

The dancer is Medha Hari.

Her full videos are on w w w. JayQ. o r g

[kiranaries90]

what she did in between was a beautiful varnam called Manavi Cheykonara in Shankarabharanam ragam,...

ur a very good dancer girl.... and very pretty too!!

[Dancerlegz07]

[papuaandpapu]

[agilasuchitra]

[chatrapathi6]

God Bless you..nice performance..

[NikitaWill]

I'm speechless, she is incredible talented, I have really enjoyed her dancing.

[mmedefarge]

Beautiful, very scultptured.

Many of my joints never moved in these directions.

[pushpanjali]

I have a few of her DVDs from many years ago. She really inspired to learn Bharatanatyam! Her dancing is so clean, fluid, and precise. I still consider Medha Hari one of the best!

[goldensalangai]

Is she dancing these dance items in WGD10 on DVDs at GeeDVD*com ?

[TheSeaboat]

So beautiful!! Love from Sweden...

[CiciSteamer]

So beautiful. :]

[joshuakiyee]

I See Lotus And Those Deer Fingers

[TheSeaboat]

Simply beautiful!

[vanses2008]

who ever she is ...i just love her

[pushpanjali]

Her name is Medha Hari.

[azer19111]

i like this very much better than bollywoods dance...

indian culture is the most unique and fascinating one!

[jishomax]

LOUD!!! ... the beauty of this perfomance was that, its simply communicating. The dancer is talented, obviously the moves proves the thing. ARDHANARISWARAN was good in moves, but facial expressions was stagnent (female side).

[pacbhati]

excellnt ,just too good

[mecritic]

India culture is great , todays greedy and selfish religious conversions are killing great indian culture.

[mamasita090783]

WOW ... her leg kick at 0:39 was amazing !

She's a strong dancer ... i love bharatanatyam !

[pripink90]

you are awesome!! :)

[exec9292]

[gaol12]

This is my culture! every bit proud

[gaol12]

This is my culture! every bit proud

[TheSeaboat]

Namaste; and it is a beautiful culture! I love it too. Simply beautiful..._)

[lunezinhaglau]

Who is this dancer? She is wonderful...

[farisindonesia]

what are those hand gestures called in India??

Mudra?Muhdra?

South East Asian dances also have those gestures..they were influenced by Indian a lot..

[seleniaactimel]

This is beautiful. Really beautiful!

[sacalante]

i pay full respect

to the deity of our

divine

dancer

from vamana avatara hasta

namascar

[Shrimeer]

WOW.....speechless!!

[ConradFred]

Bharatantyam

[midnightmarshmallow]

Wow. I'm trying to learn more about Indian culture so I stumbled across Bharatanatyam and it's beautiful. I don't understand the meaning behind it though. This dancer's face and body language is so expressive... is there a story behind it or is it just up to interpretation? Anyway, this is great.

[ReinaMJ]

यह बहुत अच्छा है! सुंदर!

[rashmisss]

girl u r incredible awesome mindblowing.

Ive never seen such perfect bharatnatyam with such incredible expressions. At places i felt as if God Shiv and Goddess Parvati are themselves doing this. Bless u, keep it up. :) Id like to know where u learnt it from and since when u have been practicing.

[bharatanatyamdancer]

This girl is absolutely incredible!

Her Bharatanatyam performance is amazing.

Her Bharata natyam DVDs are the best ones of all those DVDs I bought on

w w w . J a y Q . o r g

[mumbaimacro]

Her expression in this classical dance is very nice.realy she is a very good classical dancer.

[umabalakr]

Anyone seen her new videos after she left her former guru and joined Padma Subrahmaniam?

[MehndiKeRang]

She's got to be one of the best Bharatanatyam dancers i've ever seen!

[bluejuiseritsma]

i look at the world and i LOVE how beautiful the cultures are!!! The indian culture is just as special!!!

[GeeBelly]

hi, this is beautiful!!!! Could you tell me what dvd u r talking about? Im a bellydancer but i would love to learn Bharatanatyam!! thanks, good vibes from mexico.

[suryavs]

[nutier]

Very nice dance ! Thank you for sharing .

nutier

[shakti909]

Awesome!!! g8 of g8!!! Medha is just a dance star!!!

[Reanimator1974]

May the Divine Mother Tripurasundari bless you with all the goodness of Life with Health,Wealth and a Long Happy Life. As I watch this dance, all I saw was the Form of Divine Mother Tripurasundari dancing in the form of this girl. Child, use this dance to spread the glory of the Divine Mother. You are blessed with Her look , may you realize Her in your dance. Om Sakthi.

[kwantumspin]

brilliant. gracious.

[nallurani]

this young girl is fantastic. she dances incredibly. her teacher's choreography is phenomenal and the girl does full justice to the beautiful choreography. i have one suggestion to medha hari. she should not stomp her foot. i hope she takes this positive criticism in the right spirit. if she corrects this mistake she can rise upto Padma subramaniam's level.

[rosajms90]

very good expression... i've done the same dance for 3 years n i found difficult dancing n using right expression at the same time... she did it perfectly... gr8 job... ;-)

[radhakmartin]

its amazing how she keeps her back so straight

[kalakkalravi]

Good performance, what is the name of the performer?

[asiafreak94]

I love Medha Hari. She dances so beautifully. Thank you very much for this vid =)

[umanarayanan141]

i heard she recently left her old guru and joined padmaji

[AdsonAdziabadzia]

Fantastic dance!

[punjabiKuri4eva]

sorry i hope i dont sound ignorant..but bharatnatyam originated in south india right?

[sgttaz2006]

namaschkar...verry cool. She dances with grace and enjoys it...subh naravati

[kiranji08]

Medha was lucky to study under Anita when the school was very small and every student got individual attention. My daughter was learning there for 4 years and was still in the adavus class, nobody corrected her (40 children in 1 class!), has not learnt any item. We just had to find a better guru.

[15D3]

She is just perfect. Very good job. Congratulations. I watch this Video more than 5 times :-)

[GodsBrightShadow]

Honestly,one of the creepiest things I have come across today,on the positive side(not her face!) I love this dance,very sharp,the hand movements are amazing. I admire those things since I am a flamenca,and lord knows flamenco is fire!

Ciao

[bluevidhya]

Hi,

I love your dance so much!!!! Very beautiful dress, face, and dance steps!!!! Your face expression is very good!!!!!

awsome dance!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up!!!!!!

[damadonilo]

a dança indiana é uma das mais bonitas expressões artísticas do mundo, e a capcidade de perceber a cultura e a história de um povo através da dança é magnífico.

e Bharata Natyam é uma das melhores dançarinas do mundo.

[VPD39]

nice

[DefinetelyDodgy]

kwl ive done the same dance 4 5 yrs

the outfits r sooo hard to put on n take off

[gkuchipudi]

Best Bharatanatyam dancer I have ever seen... I watch this video every fortnight to get a feeling that i should do a lot to improve myself :-)

[MaluMonkey95]

She has very good expressions. I also watch this to motivate me to do better for my competition!!! :]

[bluishskin]

beautiful facial expression and graceful gestures..storytelling by means of body language, no words needed whatsoever. I always love classical asian dances!

[justblissgraceful]

love her expressions..

[Mejuz]

Do you know her name, please?

[catharticpoet]

medha hari

[Mejuz]

Beautiful Sequence at 4.40! What a grace! Would love to see this live!

[fez30756750]

no kuchipudi is from andhra pradesh, mohiniattam is from kerala

[bigalisme]

Fantastic. So fluid, but still accentuated. She has a lot of control. Her expression is great too.

[turtlegirl1994]

bharatanatyam. Hindu gods were said to dance in this form for husbands.

[Coui0112358]

stunning beautiful...this is poetry wrote with the body!!.....

[underconstructin455]

GrOoOvY!  ;)

[priyanka1027]

[hannahnj]

[tisalew]

[ihighonsuga]

[danianjan]

Very graceful, the very embodiment of womanhood it seems.

[gaura]

shes a babe

[kblc06]

she's a 11

[pushpanjali]

Medha's artistic expression has traveled all the way into my life and inspired me to begin Bharatanatyam. Her Arai Mandi is perfect and she is an incredible dancer. I hope I can be half as talented as her one day.

[bigguitarfreak95]

wowo! tht was amazing! lol im only a beginner :p wow!!!

[kumaruser]

[animaluver12321]

[SailorBarsoom]

I know next to nothing about Bharatanatyam or any other traditional Indian dance. But I recognize beautiful movement when I see it. It seems to be that this would be a difficult style to learn, as even the movement of the eyes has to be coordinated.  But it really adds to the dance.

[lizzymg]

what's the diference between Bharatanatyam, Odissi and Kuchipudi?

thanks for the answer

*

[ThatsSoRavin]

They each have differences in movement and structure. Bharatanatyam comes from Tamil Nadu, Odissi comes from Orissa, and Kuchipudi is from Andhra Pradesh. I personally favor Odissi.

[dare2pissin2wind]

Bharatanatyam, Odissi and Kuchipudi are all different forms of dance that developed in different parts of India more that 2000 years ago. Bharatanatyam was developed mainly in south India, particularly present day state of Tamil Nadu. Odissi developed in Orissa and Kuchipudi in Andra Pradesh. They differ in the structure of the dance, the rythym, the movements and the rules governing the dance forms.

[rianelli]

superb video... thanks for sharing!

[awebharatanatyam]

As far as I know Medha Hari is the only good Bharatanatyam dancer in that entire 300-students-strong Bharata natyam school. This is a typical case when a talent reaches the heights despite the mediocre guru.

[myRincon]

Anyone know the name of the song, or know where I can get a recording of this beautiful singing?

[Naisarue]

Exquisite! Perfect expressions, great alternation between quick & agile and slow & smooth and altogether very beautiful and pleasant to see. Thank you!

[KatakaChandra]

What´s the diference between Bharatanatyam and Odissi?

[Awiesha]

Talking 'bout Perfection...

[dreea30]

how old is she?

[XxBreakdancer]

wow how du u memorize all those steps? thats amazing!

[dare2pissin2wind]

The steps are not memorized. There are some basic steps or Mudras that are defined by the dance form and some rules on how they can be used. The dancer improvises and uses these steps depending on the meaning of the song being sung. The same song can be performed by different dancers and each of them will be different from one another.

[sushma92]

how old is she now?

[avats]

You're great, I also do Bharatanatyam. How long have you been learning?

[vlr0181]

Does anyone knows what it says???

[CPGMMmachu]

She is a newbie.. I suspect. I used to like Padma SUBRAMANYAM

She was hot!

But..this one medhaji hari ain't bad.

:)

[bharatanatyam2007]

omg, this bharatanatyam is mesmerizing....

[bharatanatyam4dance]

This is one of the best Bharatanatyam dancer that I have ever seen! These young Chennai classical Indian dancers are the world's top virtuosos.

[zacatecas89]

nice forms, like specially the fast part of the dance, the queen of cuautitlán.

[trabant135]

awesome!

[tatulover1489]

medhaji hari is so cute

[bharatanatyam]

she is a true bharatanatyam dancer

[danielbalague]
